Get away from it all and unwind at this comfortable riverfront vacation retreat. Located in a quiet neighborhood, Thurston Point Cottage offers a relaxing atmosphere with spectacular sunset views over the Annisquam River. You might choose to sip a cool drink on one of the large porches and watch the boats go by or drive into downtown Gloucester or nearby Rockport to explore shops, restaurants, waterfront, and a vibrant arts scene. Either way, you'll enjoy the perfect summer escape!
Swim and kayak from the property or even fish off the deepwater dock, which can accommodate boats up to 18' and has a ladder on the side to make it easy to get in and out of the river for a refreshing swim. For the full river experience, ask us about renting a Kayak or Stand-Up Paddleboard through Atlantic Vacation Homes.

Love this place
by Alex B.We have been here twice. It's truly a gem. Sitting on the dock or in the rocking chairs—it all works. It's just a place to create magical summer memories. And the service from Atlantic Vacation Homes is exceptional. We have no real complaints, but if the owner would consider adding an outdoor shower and providing a few kayaks, both would be welcome additions.
Awesome sunset views from porch. Would definitely go back.
Our second stay at Thurston Point Cottage
by Todd R.Our family of five just got back from our second stay at this house. We love it there. The house and location are great. We hope to book again next year.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
Beautiful Annisquam River vacation home
by CarolThurston Point Cottage was the perfect place to relax, swim, and kayak. We even kayaked down to Mile Marker One for lunch and up to Wingaersheek for the beach. It was a treat having our own dock and the house had everything we needed. We mostly had dinners at wonderful Gloucester restaurants, so didn't do much cooking. But we made breakfasts and some lunches and it was very well appointed. The king sized bed was quite comfortable and we loved having three different types of porches for sitting outside and enjoying meals or coffee or beer or wine. There were plenty of towels and dishes and everything was so clean and well organized when we arrived. Truly a pleasure.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We hope to see you again in the future.
